Penfolds Rewards of Patience tasting panel 2021 - 5/5 rating

Penfolds Bin 389 is often referred to as 'Baby Grange', in part because components of the wine are matured in the same barrels that held the previous vintage of Grange. First made in 1960 by the legendary Max Schubert, this was the wine that helped forge Penfolds reputation with red wine drinkers by combining the structure of cabernet sauvignon with the richness of shiraz. It is named after its original binning compartment at Magill cellars. 

It's at 389 where the magic really begins in the modern Penfolds line up, and the great 2015 season has produced a wine as dark, vibrant and enticing as ever. Cabernet and Shiraz embrace harmoniously in a confluence of blackcurrant and blackberry depth, magnificently supported by classy dark chocolate American oak. Fine-grained tannins effortlessly yet confidently promise a grand future. One of the greats in the magnificent lineage of Bin 389."  Tyson Stelzer

The 2015 Bin 389 is a blend of 53% cabernet sauvignon and 47% shiraz from premium vineyards in Wrattonbully, McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, Coonawarra, Robe and Padthaway. The wine was matured for 12 months in American oak hogsheads ((32% new, 37% 1-y.o., 31% 2-y.o.).

"Deep crimson. Black olive, mulberry and raspberry aromas with liquorice/aniseed notes. Dense mulberry, ink and cassis flavours, plentiful fine chalky loose-knit tannins and roasted chestnut and roasted almond notes. Finishes chocolaty and slightly leafy firm. Lovely drive, volume and structure. Should integrate and expand. Peak drinking 2024 to 2042. 

Wine region map of South Australia

South Australia

South Australian is responsible for more than half the production of all Australian wine. It is home to more than 900 wineries across 18 wine regions. The regions are Adelaide Hills, Adelaide Plains, Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, Coonawarra, Currency Creek, Eden Valley, Kangaroo Island, Langhorne Creek, McLaren Vale, Mount Benson, Mount Gambier, Padthaway, Riverland, Robe, Southern Fleurieu, Southern Flinders Ranges and Wrattonbully.

Many of the well-known names in the South Australian wine industry established their first vineyards in the late 1830s and early 1840s. The first vines in McLaren Vale were planted at Reynella in 1839 and Penfold's established Magill Estate on the outskirts of Adelaide in 1844.

South Australia has a vast diversity in geography and climate which allows the State to be able to produce a range of grape varieties - from cool climate Riesling in the Clare and Eden Vallies to the big, full bodied Shiraz wines of the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale. Two of Australia's best-known wines, Penfolds Grange and Henschke Hill of Grace, are produced here. There is much to discover in South Australia for the wine lover.
